Hello parishioners and subjects! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween, and are even now recovering from overindulgences in candy, booze, and whatever other vices you use to fend off the killing drudgery of day-to-day life. And here's an FYI: should any Law Enforcement officers, local or Federal, ask if you have any information about a silver-masked luchadore performing frog splashes off the hoods of cars on unsuspecting Trick or Treaters, I was with you--got me? :)

Now that the busiest of busy months in the Vicarage and Duchy is receding in the rearview, hopefully regular posting will resume. But more importantly than that, here's some news you can use: the Duke and I are sponsoring our first ever blogathon, in honor of the late great Spanish horror icon and patron saint of our blog, Paul Naschy! We're currently looking for bloggers, poets, artists, songwriters, interpretive dancers, and other creative types who'd like to participate. A few people have already expressed interest, and we're hoping for many, many more.

Think you might have the right stuff? Peep the details below, rinse out your eyeballs, and get those typing fingers ready!

The way it works: sometime during the aforementioned time period, post something Naschy-related on your blog and let us know about it. I will publish a list of links daily to direct blogathon readers to your sites. Posts can be reviews of movies, personal essays, poetry, songs, original art, lists, photo essays, or just about anything else so long as it's got a Naschy tie-in. Be creative!

The Duke and I will also be celebrating Naschy during that week, with new reviews and content for casual readers and hardcore Naschy-files alike.

Don't have a blog but still want to participate? That's great! Just send us whatever you want posted (using the above email) and we'll put it right here on MMMMMovies, crediting you as guest author!

You've got about 4 weeks to prepare, so get cracking, people! And stay tuned for more Movie Madness!

Excitedly,

The Vicar

William--I searched through all my inboxes and couldn't find your email...I blame the EtherGoblins! At any rate, I apologize for missing your email, and I'm excited and thrilled to have Video Junkies aboard! Resend that email to vicarofvhs@gmail.com or scott.axeman@gmail.com, and we'll see if it gets through this time!

Craig J., TFC, and Darius, thanks for letting me know! Be sure and get me those links when the posts go up.

I'm really overwhelmed by the response. Can't wait to get this celebration rolling!

No worries, Worsel. Horror Rises can't have enough said about it, that's for sure! I mean, where is horror going to rise from? The supermarket?! Possibly, now that I think about my local merchant's offerings...
